Keep in mind that even though this is a game show centered around numbers, you're gonna confuse a lotta people at home - not to mention the contestants - with this progressive jackpot. And is this progressive jackpot only for every playing? In other words, if they play it tomorrow and the jackpot gets to 50K, will it still be 50K when they play Plinko in a few weeks or reset back to 10K? Because while a say, $130K jackpot sounds appealing, it's hell on the budget and will likely confuse the viewers who don't watch every day.

Plus, TPIR episodes do not necessarily air in taping order, and they go into reruns in the summer, so an ongoing progressive jackpot is pretty much out of the question.

Plinko has been around for so long, the suggested changes to the gameplay would be about as appaling as changing The Joker's Wild from the original format to (as you all know) a Game of Definitions.
The S.S. Plinko ship has sailed.

Except I happen to enjoy Joker90.
Perhaps a bit of actual creativity beyond fried chicken showcases and crossing touch screens would be called for.
alfonzos:
Rather than progressive jackpots which add a lot math and call for additional props and electronics, why not do what the Brits did? The center slot is worth zero but the slots immediately to its left and right are worth $10,000.
TLEberle:
What does that accomplish besides tweaking the average payoff per chip?
